    Iran was USA’s ally in the 1950s actually. The Iranian revolution of 1979 is what turned them against us.

    There’s a lot of complexity here, but its very 1950s-style US foreign policy where we refuse elections for a local population, they rebel and go off in a worse direction. There’s a lot of hypocrisy in 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s America.
